Call to delay UK Tamil deportations to Sri Lanka

[BBC]

Amnesty International says that at least one of the failed asylum seekers tried to commit suicide on Wednesday night at an airport detention facility. The fate of the Tamils is currently unclear. Some are reported to have had their deportations deferred. Others, however, are reported to be heading to the airport for departure. Amnesty argues that the British government has a responsibility under international law to protect people at risk of torture.
